Effect of Sun Light Intensity on the Change of Contents in the Chloroplasts of Tillandsia usneciaes

After the leaves of Tillandsia usneciaes were fixed in 2.5% glutaraldehyde under strong sun light ,some globular objects were found in the chloroplast. These globular objects did not take the ordinary U-Pb double stain but they showed a cyclic change in amount following the change of sum light intensity. At 8 O′clock in the morning,only a few globular objects appeared in the chloroplast, At 10: 00 a. m.,there were several globular objects and they greatly increased at noon and gradually reduced in the afternoon,and finally disappearred at 4: 00 p. m. For detection of periodie acid-reactive complex carbohydrates with silver methenamine staining technique , the globular objects stained black. This result demonstrated that the globular objects may be polymers of intermediat products of the carbon cycle in photosynthesis and C3 compounds in malate decarboxylation.     

Diethylstilbestrol regulates mouse gubernaculum testis cell proliferation via PLC‐Ca2+‐CREB pathway

Recent evidence suggested a positive correlation between environmental estrogens (EEs) and high incidence of abnormalities in male urogenital system, but the mechanism remains unclear. Diethylstilbestrol (DES) is a nonsteroidal synthetic estrogen that disrupts the morphology and proliferation of gubernaculum testis cells, but the underlying mechanism is unclear. In this study, mouse gubernaculum testis cells were pretreated with phospholipase C (PLC) inhibitor U‐73122 and then treated with DES. The results demonstrated that U‐73122 impaired DES‐evoked intracellular Ca2+ mobilization in gubernaculum testis cells and inhibited DES‐induced proliferation of gubernaculum testis cells. Mechanistically, we found that U‐73122 inhibited DES‐induced activation of cAMP‐response element binding protein (CREB) in gubernaculum testis cells. In conclusion, these data suggest that the effects of DES on mouse gubernaculum testis cells are mediated by PLC‐Ca²⁺‐CREB pathway.

Significance of the study

Environmental estrogens remain a serious threat to male reproductive health, and it is important to understand the mechanism by which EEs affect the male productive system. Here we explore potential mechanisms how the proliferation and contractility of gubernaculum testis cells are regulated by diethylstilbestrol. Our findings provide the first evidence that PLC‐Ca²⁺‐CREB signalling pathway mediates the nongenomic effects of diethylstilbestrol on gubernaculum testis cells. These findings provide new insight into the role of diethylstilbestrol in the aetiology of male reproductive dysfunction and will help develop better approaches for the prevention and therapy of male reproductive malformation.

Effect of HMGB1 silencing on cell proliferation,invasion and apoptosis of MGC‐803 gastric cancer cells

High‐mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) is a multifunctional protein with intranuclear and extracellular functions. Although HMGB1 is overexpressed in approximately 85% of gastric cancers, the role of HMGB1 in gastric cancer biology remains unclear. In this study, we investigate the effect of downregulation of HMGB1 on the biological behavior of gastric cancer cells. MGC‐803 gastric cancer cells were transduced with HMGB1‐specific RNAi lentiviral vectors. Real‐time polymerase chain reaction and Western blot analysis of HMGB1 mRNA and protein, respectively, validated the silencing effects. HMGB1‐specific silencing significantly decreased cell proliferation. The impact on proliferation was observed at the cell cycle level—the number of cells in the G0/G1 phase increased, whereas that in S and G2/M phases decreased. Cell cycle changes were accompanied by decreases in cyclin D1 expression. Furthermore, HMGB1 silencing sensitized cells to apoptosis that was induced by oxaliplatin and mediated by the caspase‐3 pathway. Finally, silencing of HMGB1 expression significantly reduced cellular metastatic ability and MMP‐9 expression in MGC‐803 cells. In summary, HMGB1 not only plays an essential role in the proliferation and invasion of MGC‐803 cells but also represents a potential target for the therapeutic intervention of gastric cancer.

Spectroscopic and computational exploration of hypoxanthine riboside interacting with plasma albumin

Hypoxanthine riboside (HXR) is a nucleoside essential for wobble base pairs to translate the genetic code. In this work, an absorption and luminescence study showed that HXR and human serum albumin (HSA) formed a new complex through hydrogen bonds and van der Waals forces at ground state. Fluorescence probe experiments indicated that HXR entered the first subdomain of domain II in HSA and was fixed by amino acid residues in site I defined by Sudlow, and after competing with a known site marker. The recognition interaction featured negative ΔH^?, ΔS^? and ΔG^? thermodynamic parameters. Fluorescence and circular dichroism spectra described the polarity of residues and α‐helix and β‐strand content changed because of HXR binding. The most rational structure for the HXR–HSA complex was recommended by the molecular docking method, in which the binding location, molecular orientation, adjacent amino acid residues, and hydrogen bonds were included. In addition, the influence of β‐cyclodextrin and some essential metal ions on the balance of the HSA–HXR system interaction was measured. The study gained comprehensive information on the transportation mechanism for HXR in blood, and was of great significance in understanding the theory of HXR biotransformation and in discussing its clinical in vivo half‐life.
